I taught classes for years at the City of Wichita Parks and Recreation centers. At the suggestion of one of my students I decided to offer one-on-one classes where topics can be covered in detail and customized.
Topics can include indoor, outdoor, studio, night, and special effects.
The classes will cover a variety of topics and each class will have one or two topic goal. These topics may include lighting, freezing action, or any number of topics which are still being determined.
Some types of photography do require special equipment for better images. Fortunately, there are ways to enjoy classes without special equipment. For all classes a quality tripod is recommended and students are encouraged to have an advanced knowledge of how to navigate their camera's menus.
With changing seasons there are always opportunities to photograph seasonal events, weather, vacations, and perhaps sporting events. When we have outdoor photography classes we will meet at one of the parks, Botanica, or maybe the zoo and walk around as a group. You will be able to try various photos and get feedback and suggestions.
